Replying to [comment:5 embray]:
> Is use of argparse the only thing that currently breaks compatibility
for Python 2.6? If so I think bundling it is a no-brainer--I've done it
in a dozen other projects (though most projects are finally droppping
support for Python 2.6).

> That said we either support Python 2.6 or we don't. If Sage isn't
tested against Python 2.6 it doesn't support it as far as anyone should be
concerned. Same goes for any other Python version. If it's not tested
it's not supported.
there is demand for Python 2.6 support. It should be easy to set up a VM
with one of these LTS Linux systems which are using 2.6 as the default.
The question is who will do this, and on what system. There is spare
capacity on the UW cluster, I think, to do this.
